Preterm labor can be scary and unsettling. How do you handle it? Do you have options?
Always call your medical provider and get input asap! And then here are some tricks that might be something you and your provider could chat about. They may or may not be helpful in your particular circumstances. This is not medical advice. Please always chat with your provider before consuming anything.

Pelvic rest and bed rest can help when pre-term labor is threatening an early baby. But it can be confusing on what you can do and can feel very restrictive. If your provider has suggested bed rest here are some ideas to help!

Let's chat Oligohydramnios! There are true risks that can be connected to it certain circumstances, and in other circumstances you may be able to work with your provider for a few days/or week/s to see if you can increase your amniotic fluid. Your provider will likely desire to check on baby more frequently to ensure baby is tolerating the lower fluid levels well.

What are some things that I have seen with oligohydramnios? I am not a medical provider so I am merely relaying what providers have said to clients of mine. You will need to chat with your provider about your specific circumstances. But. I have seen providers say that low amniotic fluid affects the lungs as baby can not do as much practice breathing to strengthen their lungs. I have seen some providers in a preterm rupture work with mom on complete bed rest to get baby as far as possible even with a ruptured membrane and very low amniotic fluid. I've seen some providers say that baby needed immediate delivery, and others say mom could try electrolytes and trying to hydrate for a certain amount of time to see if the low fluid would resolve. I've seen some providers diagnose on one sonogram and others take 2 or more sonograms into consideration. And I've seen some providers be concerned about how well baby will tolerate labor with low amniotic fluid.

If you have received this kind of diagnosis work with your provider to determine the right choice for you and your baby!

On January 2nd I started getting messages from my best friend that things were rapidly shifting into the zone of instead of fighting to keep her son inside longer we now needed him outside because it would be safer even at 29 weeks. Right as I climbed into bed I got the text the decision had been made and I was in my car 5 minutes later. I made it in time to take pictures and support her and her family in the birth of the most precious and beautiful tiny rainbow baby boy! After walking with her for a previous birth this was such a sweet moment. All the details are hers to share. Congrats A and M on the birth of your sweet son!!!

Welcome to the world sweet baby girl!!! B family faced some unique decisions at the very end of pregnancy and they leaned into critical thinking and decision making so well! Based on prayer and intuition and radical acceptance they chose to schedule a c-section for their unique circumstances. And without telling their story for them, they discovered in the c-section the missing pieces of the puzzle and the reason why prayer and intuition led them to this particular path. Sweet baby girl is charming the world and her parents each day! So proud of you guys for slowing down and doing the hard work to land on a decision that felt right for y’all. 💕 Congrats B family!!!

Here’s a great tip and trick if you are choosing to use the hospital. This could even be a document you have printed off and filled out and packed in a just in case go bag if you need to transfer into the hospital. Because if you have to transfer in you will definitely be in rip roaring labor as she says and you will be so glad to utilize your labor support peoples assistance with handing your nurse this paper.

J family welcomed their sweet baby girl last night! Sweet baby girl is very medically complex and there are so many things that only the Lord knows about her future. But her mama advocated so beautifully for herself and her sweet E! The Lord lined up the perfect team for them yesterday! If you think about them this week please say a prayer for them as they navigate these next days.
Congrats J family!!
